Epic Fail

So I'm not really happy with the latest section. It's one of the things that has been giving me writer's block lately. But I decided to just plow through it, and I really feel like I failed.

It started good enough I think, but when it got to the end of Caden's conversation with Sam, it falls flat. It really lacks the emotion that it should have. And that was the problem. Sam's been hiding the fact that Caden's dad has been missing, and Caden just learned the truth. He should be ready to run out the door, grab Starlight and race back out into the world. But it just doesn't strike me as true when he does so. 

This section is in major need of a rewrite, if anyone has a suggestion for improvement, please leave a comment and discuss below.

Writer's block

So I know where I'm at, and I know where I need to be. But I don't know how to connect the pieces at the moment. There are many things I want to write about here but I don't want to ruin any surprises. 

This is very new ground for me, the only thing I've written longer then the current Dragon Knights story has been screen plays, which I find to be much forgiving then novel prose.

So I hope I won't let anyone down as I allow Caden's world to be reconstructed, if only a little bit before he returns to his quest.
